Robert C. Solomon
September 14, 1942 – January 2, 2007
Robert C. Solomon delved deeply into continental philosophy, particularly the 19th and 20th centuries. His work focused on themes like ethics and the philosophy of emotions, developing a cognitivist theory of emotions that views them as rationally appraisable and revisable. Solomon explored the concept of love, arguing that romantic love is a cultural construct rather than a universal state. His lectures, often on Nietzsche and existentialism, emphasized personal reflection and the embrace of life's full spectrum.
